Lyrics
Just Short of Love
I've tried to find his eyes
but they're hidden in his hands
flowing through his fingers
those tears are hard to understand...
I know that he's been hurting
trying hard to make it through
his secrets hold the pain
in the crossfire between me and you...
between me and you...
(chorus) ohhhhhhh sweet distraction
that's what I was
way past friends
... just short of love
he never said he'd love me
although I know he cares
but he'll always take you in
like he's breathin' mountain air...
and I should have know better
our hearts were not aligned
I was never in his dreams
'Cause you're always on his mind...
(bridge) can you even guess...
do you finally see...
he's not in love with me
he's not in love with me... oh...
(chorus) ohhhhhhh sweet distraction
that's what I was
we were way past friends
just short of love
(chorus over bridge) ohhhhhhh sweet distraction
can you even guess...
that's what I was
now I finally see...
way past friends
he's not in love with me...
oh way past friends... just short of love
